This is for users who will be setting up 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) via DUO for their Brandeis account.

Tip:

If you choose your smartphone as your second factor, downloading the DUO Mobile app from the App Store or Google Play on to your smartphone BEFORE you enroll the device on the Two Factor portal will save time during the enrollment process.

Select the type of device you'd like to enroll and click Continue. We recommend using a smartphone for the best experience.

Type your phone number.

Select your country from the drop-down list and type your phone number. Use the number of your smartphone, landline, or cell phone that you'll have with you when you're logging in to a Duo-protected service.

Double-check that you entered it correctly, check the box, and click Continue.

Choose your device's operating system and click Continue.

Install Duo Mobile.

Duo Mobile is an app that runs on your smartphone and helps you authenticate quickly and easily. Without it, you'll still be able to log in using a phone call or text message.

Follow the platform-specific instructions on the screen to install Duo Mobile. After installing the mobile app, return to the enrollment window and click 'I have Duo Mobile installed.'

Activate Duo Mobile.

Activating the app links it to your account so you can use it for authentication.

On iPhone, Android, and Windows Phone, activate Duo Mobile by scanning the QR code with the app's built-in scanner. Once you've successfully activated Duo Mobile, a green check will appear over the QR code ( second picture below)

Can't scan the barcode? Click "Or, have an activation link emailed to you instead." and follow the instructions.
